The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has released a notice regarding a request from various companies including Adams Street Partners to allow certain business development companies and closed-end investment companies to jointly invest in portfolio companies with affiliated investment entities. This request is for an order under sections 17(d) and 57(i) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, which would permit certain transactions usually prohibited by the Act. The application was filed on September 23, 2024, and amended several times, with the latest amendment on April 24, 2025. The public can request a hearing about this application by May 23, 2025, if they wish to express their interest or concerns.
Simple Explanation
The SEC wants to let some money companies work together on investments in a way that's usually not allowed, and people can tell the SEC what they think about this plan by a certain date.
